Growing oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) production through the end of the decade will require more infrastructure to be built and operated under favorable terms for the nation's pipeline companies, predicts Deutsche Bank analyst Curt Launer in reports looking back at 2012 and forward toward 2020. "At the bottom line, we look for oil production growth of over 10% in the major US shale plays annually for each of the next five years, along with 2% growth in North American natural gas overall with 7% in the shales and 8% growth in NGLs," Launer said.
